Articles and books that quote me ...
-
Sally Squires, “Nonstop Office: Maybe It’s Good for You,” THE WASHINGTON POST, January 23, 2007.
This article has absolutely nothing to do with securities disclosure or plain English, but it’s pretty interesting. Check out the video for proof that I can walk and talk (and walk and type!) at the same time.
- Carolyn Iglesias, “Lose the Lingo,” IR MAGAZINE, September 2003.
- Robert G. Eccles, The ValueReporting Revolution: Moving Beyond the Earnings Game (Wiley, 2002).
- Raymond Hennessey, “IPO Planners Find ‘Plain English’ Elusive,” THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, December 26, 2000.
My words of wisdom? “Any sentence written by an accountant sticks out like a sore thumb and needs to be changed.”
